Investigators believe foul play was involved in Maggie’s disappearance, and hope by speaking publicly about Maggie’s disappearance today, will encourage someone with information regarding her whereabouts to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
“I’m doing this because my family needs answers,” said an emotional Marie Burke, Maggie’s mother. “We need to find out what happened to Maggie. Also, I want my granddaughter, Pipon, to grow up knowing that we have, and will continue to make every effort to find her mother.”
Maggie Burke (see photos below) was last seen in the area of 95 Street and 118 Avenue, near the location where Crime Stoppers erected a billboard this week seeking tips on the missing Edmonton woman. She was believed to be meeting a friend, at that time.
“Someone, somewhere, must have information about Maggie’s disappearance,” said Sgt. Neil Zurawell, of the EPS Missing Persons Unit. “It’s a parent’s worst nightmare – the death or mysterious disappearance of your child. If you have any information at all that might help with our investigation, please contact police or Crime Stoppers. There’s a family here that needs our help.”
She is described as an Aboriginal female, 5’7”, 125 pounds, brown eyes, with brown hair and red streaks at the time. She had a marijuana leaf tattoo on her left arm.
Anyone who has information about this disappearance of Maggie Burke is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.tipsubmit.com/start.htm.
